I've been toying with NIS-over-IPv6 in NetBSD.  The problem is that
the ypbind v2 protocol has an IPv4 address in it.  Unfortuantely, the
updated ypbind protocol (for TI-RPC) is not described with a .x file,
but appears to be open-coded and appears to XDR internal TLI data
structures over the wire.

"Yuck."

Anyway, as I have a chance, I'm working on an extension to the ypbind v2
protocol (v2 is the version that BSD uses) that would allow for IPv6.
